5 HEALTHY VEGAN RECIPES FOR WEIGHT LOSS

One important thing to think about when going through a weight loss regime: your weight is hormonal regulated. In chemical terms, all you really need to do is reduce both your fat-storing hormones and insulin intake. The key to hitting those chemical balances? Reduce your meat and dairy intake. That can be tough on the taste buds for a lot of people. But we’re here to help you out by providing some delicious foods that will also allow you to lose weight. And better yet, these five healthy recipes are 100% vegan.

Eating spicy food can actually help you cut back on calories. Studies show that jalapeno, cayenne peppers and other chili ingredients contain a compound called “capsaicin”.

Cruciferous vegetables may not be as high in protein as animal foods or legumes, but they do contain more protein than most other vegetables. Studies also show that these veggies are anti-inflammatory, low in calories, and chock-full of nutrients that help prevent cancer.
